WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.

The Rocky MountaSn Husbandman: The
Manitoba folks are pushing westward as
fast as men and money can accomplish the
work, yet they will be occupied during
the present season on their main line and
will probably do nothing at branch lines
until their trains run into Butte. But
from that day forward we may look to see
their feeders reaching out in every direc-
ton.
The Benton Rarer Press: Towns are in
a measure like individuals; it is only
those that are active, enterprising, pro-
gressive, that attain the greatest measure
of success. Hundreds of instances might
be cited to illustrate the proposition, but
the citations are not needed. The truth is
a ~self-evident one.
Helena Independent: Just why Ameri-
can capital should be seeking investment
in Alaska when the field is so inviting in
Montana and Idaho does not appear clear.
Nowhere else are the mines as responsive
to development as here, especially when
worked by the appliances OF modern
methods.
Helena Herald: When our ranchmen
learn that there is money and safety in
barometers, they will not be without the
daily advice of such a useful instrument.
Missoulsan: When a farm is cut in two
BY a railroad the. value of the land is
doubled, and sometimes quadrupled. To
say nothing of the influx Of people to a
favored locality which follows the build
ing of a road, there is the market. 1t costs
80 and 40 cents a hundred to bring oats or
wheat to market from a goodly portion of
the valley. People can live and enjoy life
and raise grain for the mount OF money
it now costs to get it to market, and with
the additional facilities of ready sale Of
their products some of the comforts and
even luxuries of this world may be taken
in.
Anaconda Reeien.: The Montana Central
is in the hands of efficient men who are
| anxious to get their work done. An ex-
| tension of the line to Anaconda would
| offer them advantages, which, if the cost
| of construction be taken into considera.
| ton, excel those of the line between Butte
| and Helena. It will be impossible fol-
capable, competent railroad men like those
who have hold of the Montana Central, te
overlook this fact.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1887-05-07

Montana Wool Growers Association will
be held in the parlors of the Macqueen
house at Miles City, on Wednesday, May
18th.
The Harlem Cattle company will bring
into Montana this year 10000 head OF cat
tie from Indian territory.
The Helena & Rimini road is enjoying
a very gratifying passenger and freight
traffic for a line SO short a time in opera
ton. The business over this second OF
the completed branch roads from Helena
is growing daily, and as the season ad-
vances will assume very large proportions.
Livingston boasts of a promising base
ball club which now numbers among IT'S
members several champion players.
One of Bozeman's hardware dealers
lately received one thousand dozen traps
for catching ground squirrels, and he has
already sold one third of them.
In Livingston last week CIV. Savage

old hotel heretofore managed by ID. j.
Kennedy was closed and all its patronage

The Joint freight tariff Of the Northern
| Pacific and Benton Transportation com
| pany. recently issued, gives the rate per
| hundred pounds from st. Paul or Duluth
| 10 Benton of 50 first class, $1.15 second
| class, SLIGO for third, and $3.50 for fourth
| class. This classification is an average OF
nearly 81 less per hundred weight than
| the rate to Livingston.
It is expected that the steamboat Fern
| will be ready to ply on the Missouri from
Townsend to Great Falls, early this month
Articles Of association of the Livingston
Land .companyahave been recorded In
Bozeman. This corporation is composed
of wealthy citizens of st. Paul and New
York, with the object of dealing in real
| estate. The head office is in st. Paul,
with a branch office in Livingston, the
| agent there being Mr.. d. j. Kennedy.
The capital is S250,0oo.
The traffic in ground squirrels in Gala
tin valley since the new bounty law went
into effect is something tremendous. This
law allows five cents apiece for all ground
| squirrels killed. besides giving the magis-
trate who certifes to the destruction OF
the animals and destroys their skins, one
| cent for each specimen. Over 10000 have
been killed since March 9th
The Jefferson County Sentinel says that
"Nickes is booming. Buildings are being
erected both for business and residence
purposes. The town is full of people
mostly called thither by the prospect of al
immense demand for labor as 0 as
work is ~inaugurated along the line Of the
Montana Central. Saloons and hotels are
doing a rushing business and the mer
chants are kept as busy as bees in filling
orders for merchandise"
The Dillon militia company has com
pleted a strong organization. In othel
towns Of the territory militiamen are OF
ganizing into companies totake advantage
of the new law.

Nichols was Governor, he (White)

had a man he wanted tax-collector
Nichols declined to appoint him,
and said he was going to appoint a
man to whom White did not speak
(Which he did, This offended
White and he avoided Nichols
until one day the latter asked him
why he did so, White told him and
Nichols said "some day you will
think differently" Then White
goes on to say:
Subsequently Governor Nichols
showed him a letter from a man
whose services were needed in that
critical period. The letter de-
manded recognition, and concluded
by asking whether the writer was
going to get the recognition he de-
manded. Gov. Nichols then ex.
planned that he could not at that
time afford to offend the writer,
and the appointment that Senator
White wanted was given to him
